Standing in the pathway to the mudroom

The front door snowbank

Notice the rhodies all drifted in and Myrick at the right hand corner of the house!

Monster snowbank that Nate shoveled - great for sledding!

Blizzard Video

A quick video of the kids and Nate taking off for a slog through 2 feet of snow!

Blizzard, February 8th and 9th, 2013

 The "path"

 First attempt to get out the door in the morning; this is UNDER the covered  mudroom porch!

 Nate on the covered porch

 The mudroom steps, completely buried

 Pender sitting on the mudroom steps

 Myrick, just off the mudroom porch in a drift

So sledding didn't work out very well - too much snow so that they just sank down.  And Nate forgot his gaitors, hence the boot off in the middle of two feet of snow!

Can't Get Enough of Those Trains

This is my view of my son most of the time these days.  Particularly when he's upstairs and is REALLY quiet.

Or this view.  I call this one the Headless Pender.

Hair Cut for Pender

His lovely long locks... sigh

And his super sweet little boy cut.

Another Tooth Gone

If you look closely, you can see the bottom middle tooth jutting out.  This was a day or two before #2 came out.

I pulled it since it was just barely in there.  And then she cried.  And cried and cried.  I didn't realize that she didn't want it out until it was too late.  She said she wanted to keep it and didn't want the tooth fairy to take it.  So we ended up "hiding" it from the tooth fairy in one of her matroshka dolls on top of her knick-knack shelf... and there it sits.  By the way, mom says Myrick looks just like me in this picture when I was little!
